Alfa Laval Launches New Agitator Platform

KOLDING, Denmark — Alfa Laval announced the launch of its new EnSaLine agitator platform that aims to help food, dairy, beverage, pharmaceutical and home & personal care manufacturers to save time and operating costs. 

“The current fleet of hygienic agitators is ageing in many industries, and we wanted to offer a truly new and ground-breaking design that answers the need for effortless and efficient operation and maintenance”, said Christian Jørgensen, global portfolio manager, mixing, at Alfa Laval. “By listening to feedback from our customers we rethought agitator design from the ground up and created the new EnSaLine range that sets a new and future-proof benchmark in hygienic production, maintaining high efficiency, while adding new benefits.”

He also said that all EnSaLine seals and bearings are contained in one, replaceable cartridge. The EnSaLine shaft seal assembly requires a minimal number of spare parts, according to Alfa Laval. Several of the innovative maintenance solutions have received patent protection. 

The EnSaLine agitators feature the EnSaFoil impellers that the manufacturer said deliver high efficiency. The efficiency cuts mixing time and reduces energy consumption by up to 80%, providing a typical pay-back time of less than two years, Alfa Level reported. The new range of EnSaLine agitators' sensors continuously monitor operating conditions. 

EnSaLine S Side Mounted agitator and EnSaLine B Bottom Mounted agitator are available now. 

These are some additional facts about the new Alfa Laval EnSaLine agitators:

• EnSaLine agitators are 3A certified, and all non-metallic parts are fully FDA-compliant 
• No mounting flange
• Cleaning in place can be performed while the agitator is running
• Comes with Clariot VX sensor
